[IC] Anything Goes (Remake)

Maggy hissed as she was helped up by Chris, this idiot didn't know when to quit. She'd shove him away with her elbow, shaking a bit as she stood there. "Look idiot. I said leave me alone, I don't need your sympathy." She growled turning to leave. This was when she caught wind on some fools spouting an insult at the pair of them. She growled turning to face the stranger, being greeted with the sight of a mask wearing... Hobo, he looked like a hobo. His cloths dirty and trash covered, but hey that's just what the undercity did to some people. "Listen here shit-stick, if I get my hands on you you'll see what a fucking freak looks like!" She went to take a step forward to show she wasn't afraid and intended to follow through with her threat. Then a giant, bubble... A giant bubble formed in her way.

She looked over at the trash covered man from inside the bubble, this couldn't be him could it. No. That man doesn't look like he's seen soap let alone a bubble. This lead her sight to fall back onto the man with pink hair, who seemed unperturbed by the bubble that had just surrounded them. It was him who created it for sure. She responded to his question with an irritated hiss. "Look boy. I don't need or want your help. So just forget we ever met, we'll both be better off for it, I promise you that." She then headed for the edge of the bubble, reaching out with a hand to try and pop it, she wasn't going to stay here. Or trust some pretty-boy stranger who just happened to take interest in her. She also really needed to get to that doctor, she wasn't the biggest fan of dying to blood loss.

Anything Goes

Liam and Gabrielle stood a fair distance away as they watched Shina and Ji-Eun fight off the possessed Scarlet Emberlee. A man that was apparently sleeping in the garbage approached them. He looked very odd and unpleasant to the siblings and so they ignored him for now. They both witnessed Shina freezing Scarlet’s limbs and Ji-Eun sticking her needle weapon into the possessed girl’s shoulder. Gabrielle went to step in but was stopped by the mysterious individual next to her who she didn’t know was Liam yet.

Just then, the assassin in the robotic suit had made its way up a building and out of the area. Liam could also sense the interaction between Chris and Maggy that was happening a ways away, not paying too much attention to it at the moment.

The siblings watched Ji-Eun, Shina, and Scarlet as they came back to reality, Scarlet now no longer under Ver’Tiel’s control. However, they were both surprised when they witnessed Scarlet disintegrate right before their eyes.

Gabrielle grabbed Liam and aggressively pushed him against a wall, holding one of her daggers to his throat.

”Who are you? Were you working with that thing that possessed that girl back there? Why did you stop me from helping?”

Liam didn’t say anything and just stay there, looking at Gabrielle. Gabby was mad at his quietness and went to slash his throat but when she looked back at him, he was completely unharmed. She then heard a voice speak inside her head and it was a voice that was so familiar to her. It's me.

Gabrielle took a step or two away from Liam, a wide eyed expression on her face for a moment before it disappeared. She went down on her knees and let out a breath, trying to calm herself down. She thought that her brother was dead and here he was, standing right infront of her. She eventually got up, finally reassured, and they both looked back at what was going on behind them. The masked guy that was sleeping in the garbage had gone and now someone in a suit that looked pretty young was talking to Shina.

The siblings now began making their way home as there was nothing else they could do to help regarding the Scarlet situation.

Artemis stops walking, but has yet to stop laughing, though it's hard to tell if he is actually coughing. He turns around to regard the tall pink haired woman, but instead sees the giant pink bubble, and falls over laughing even louder. “You heard me..” He spits the words as he starts to gather himself and get to his feet, “Does your hair make the giant bubble? Cause I ain’t afraid of some fucking soap… so fuck off with your mute boyfriend before I pop your bubble. Get me peach?”

He draws his pistol, and hold it loosely in his hand ready to leap into action at a moments notice. A low whirring sound can be heard as the bullets are doused in trace amounts of his blood. Artemis honestly had no clue what the pink haired freaks powers were… did he care? No.. god no. He’d hurt them if they wanted it, but kill them? Even the god freaks got sick, and he was sickness… But killing isn’t his business anymore, right? “Right...“ Then why start all this? Why start anything? Just walk away… Then a quote from his late father comes to mind ‘A man should stand by his principles, even if he is wrong.’


“God my dad was an idiot…” He mumbles under his breath.

Stan was taken aback at the aggressiveness of Shina. "No! I don't want w-weapons! I might be in danger. Or maybe you? I haven't gone that far in the timelines. Somehow I'm important to what happens to you. Actually, it might be the other way around." His head began throbbing gently. "Someone's after me. I've been in a war of sorts in the Skyline, and somebody wants me dead." His eyes bloodshot, he spoke again. "I just-" Stan suddenly cut himself off, his eyes going misty as he stumbled backwards, hitting the ground. He never felt it. He was dead to the world in seconds, unblinking as something forced him into the future. Stan awoke from his strange slumber as quickly as three minutes.

He stood up quietly, looking at Shina. He smoothed his rumpled suit. "Listen, Ma'am. I may be what you see as a corrupt individual. I can assure you it's the very opposite. My business does what it must to survive. The technology we develop, including the biochemical weapons, have helped eliminate both good and bad people. But what I do with the money eliminates corruption, destroying the seeds before they can start to grow." He tapped the pistol at his belt. "I may be a businessman, but that does not stop my crusade for justice. It may seem frivolous, but I can assure you it is important." He stroked his chin. "I know what you seek. You have lost someone dear to you, and you want to get them back. I have the technological advancements a CEO of a Skyline company can provide, and the IQ to match. I'm sure I can find a solution. Now, would you care to join me?" Stan beckoned to the hovercar.
